Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large oven-to-table baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine oil, honey, cinnamon, and rosemary. Add sweet potatoes; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Stir to coat on all sides.
- Arrange sweet potato slices in prepared baking dish by standing them upright in tight rows. You should have parallel lines of sweet potato slices (skin showing) along the length of the dish. Drizzle with any remaining oil mixture.

How is it possible to cut raw sweet potatoes like this, so thin?
You do it in the food processor slices really quick can do any vegetables
A mandoline is another option, in addition to the food processor suggested by josephine Levi. A mandoline is smaller and does not use electricity.
Why is it called “scallop”? Confusing bc that’s the name of a non kosher shellfish.
Scalloped potatoes is a known dish
